People with prostate stones should avoid eating persimmons, especially the seeds. This is because persimmon seeds contain tannins which can easily form bonds in the stomach and intestines. Once entering the bloodstream, they can lead to the formation of clots, so it's advised not to eat persimmons. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water and consume fruits and vegetables that promote urination, such as watermelons. It is also advisable to avoid eating hot pot and drinking strong spirits like Baijiu. Prostate stones can potentially cause infections, which may not be immediately noticeable. However, consuming alcohol, seafood, or hot pot can aggravate these infections, leading to more severe inflammation.

What are the symptoms of prostate calcification stones?

The prostate may have calcifications, calcification spots, or stones, and most patients do not have any discomfort symptoms, making it difficult to detect. Generally, prostate calcifications, spots, or stones are discovered during ultrasound examinations in routine physical check-ups. For patients without any symptoms, no special treatment is required. Some patients may experience perineal or lower abdominal distension and heaviness, and some may exhibit symptoms similar to prostatitis, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. In such cases, symptomatic treatment with medications to improve urinary discomfort may be sufficient; no special treatment is needed.

How to deal with prostate stones?

Smaller prostate stones generally do not impact the human body and do not cause noticeable symptoms. However, if prostate stones are accompanied by prostatitis and prostate enlargement, they can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, painful urination, difficulty urinating, and waiting for urination. For these symptoms, symptomatic treatment is sufficient, following the treatment methods for prostatitis and prostate enlargement. If prostate stones are large enough to affect urination, causing difficulty in urination or even urinary retention; if large prostate stones protrude into the bladder causing difficulty in urination, then surgery is required to treat this condition. The surgery generally involves minimally invasive transurethral prostate stone surgery or open surgery.

Is a 6mm prostate calculus serious?

A 6mm prostate stone is not severe. Typically, patients with such stones do not experience discomfort, and most cases are discovered during ultrasound examinations at physical check-ups. These asymptomatic prostate stones do not require special treatment. However, some patients may experience recurrent prostate inflammation due to the presence of stones, or symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness in the anus or lower abdomen. These conditions require timely anti-inflammatory treatment. If necessary, medications like Prostakor tablets or Prostasure capsules can be taken orally to alleviate symptoms. Treatments like warm water sitz baths or localized therapy can also be administered. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

Does prostate stones cause frequent urination?

Prostate stones can indeed lead to frequent urination. The presence of stones in the prostate can stimulate the urinary meatus, creating an urge to urinate, which can lead to frequent urination. Repeated stimulation of the urethra can similarly cause a sensation of frequent urination. Urgency, frequency, and painful urination are signs of urinary tract irritation. Generally, any irritation in the urinary tract can cause these three typical symptoms to appear, which could be due to inflammation, stones, tumors, or other foreign bodies, etc. It is recommended that patients visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment, and not to delay the condition. Each situation should be analyzed specifically, and one should not blindly follow some folk remedies.

Do prostate stones need treatment?

Prostate stones do not require treatment. Prostate stones refer to a hard or slightly black and hard substance similar to stones found inside the prostate gland during surgery. If a stone analysis is conducted, it indeed contains calcium. Generally, the formation of prostate stones may be due to previous episodes of prostatitis. After an episode of prostatitis, there may be some calcification and deposits of calcium in the prostate, and over time, an accumulation of calcium in this area may form a small stone. Additionally, the prostate is a gland that has a secretory function, and in such cases, some impurities may accumulate inside it and eventually could also become a stone. Generally, prostate stones are not very large, and usually, they do not cause any clinical symptoms. If prostate stones are only discovered during a physical examination and are very small with no clinical symptoms, then no special treatment is required, and observation is sufficient.
